Radiation Therapy--Holding at 20
The lift-off for completing breast cancer therapy has been put on hold at 20. The doctor wanted to give my skin a rest before completing the last five radiation treatments. The skin looked a lot worse than it felt, but the doctor did not want it to get any worse. I have never had any pain from the chest area, but the irritation under my arm has bee aggravating. So I am just hanging out this week letting my skin breathe. It looks a lot better today, if I do say so myself. I will go back next Monday and hopefully they will let me finish the cycle. I may have a few extra treatments under my arm the following week. I'm still hanging in there with my 6 a.m. jog/walks. I look forward to getting into cooler weather so I can turn that alarm off.
